lawn fertiliser

I wouldn't use chicken pellets unless you can fully incorporate it Imto the soil before seed sowing.  So use Gromore bluejan

Usually I scatter fertiliser a week or so before sowing seed

Morning everyone.

Wet here.  Still warmish.  But very windy (the weather!) and very wet soon and for rest of the day

Andy, yes not too far from Carbis Bay.

No gardenIng planned today anyway but I guess the rain will help my newly planted stuff so every cloud has a silver lining!!

Growing Sweet Peas and Runner Beans together

Posted: 13/05/2013 at 20:45

Growi g sweet peas and beans together is fIne

However. I would put one sweet Pea per cane. They will swamp your beans otherwise

How about 2 wigwams though?  One for beans and one for sweet Peas?  Spacing about 6" for both beans and sweet Peas

A mulch for walking on is good idea.  I prefer my sweet Peas to be all same colour too.  White aNd scented

Where we are. the Big Map.

Hardy annuals

Hiya holly hock

They should be fine planted out now.  Actually will be better off in the ground now anyway since they have been outside in pots.  It's getting cooler so they will be warmer in the ground and "happier".  If you can do it before the rains come

Love cornflowers....meant to grow some but forgot..!!!

need advice

Hiya,chica

Best really to.let nature do its work...seedlings will appear around the plant.

But the seed pod needs to be crispy dry a d turning brown before it will jettison its seeds.  I've only ever done this once before but the seed pod will start,to crack.  You have to check every day.  When you see this cut off the flower and shake onto saucer or leave it upside down.  Just sow the seeds ....I used John innes number 1...and place in shade somewhere.  If memory serves right seedlings afairly during the late summer.

Your seedlings will prob be similar to parent but I did get a nice bi colour one

Good luck Chica
